For me, venlafaxine has been an enormous help and had really given me the clarity of mind to get things back on track. I have no regrets about taking it.

Join in on some active threads and ask any questions you want. You'd be more than welcome.

Take care

I agree with Pip. Ven is the best AD I've taken thus far and I've tried half a dozen. SNRI r much better for anxiety IMO
